STATE OF THE WORLD'S VOLUNTEERISM
Every three years, UNV produces the State of the World’s Volunteerism Report, a flagship UN publication designed to strengthen understanding on volunteerism and demonstrate its universality, scope and reach in the twenty-first century.
STATE OF THE WORLD'S VOLUNTEERISM REPORT 2022: BUILDING EQUAL AND INCLUSIVE SOCIETIES
Reports
Each report examines the contribution of volunteerism to peace and development through a specific theme. UNV released the first SWVR in 2011 with a focus on universal values for global wellbeing. In 2015, the second SWVR presented a global review of the role of volunteerism in improving the way citizens are governed and engaged. The third SWVR, published in 2018, examined the role of volunteerism in strengthening community resilience. This December, we publish our fourth edition of the SWVR, Building Equal and Inclusive Societies, which presents new evidence on the relationship between volunteers and the state.
